• Resumen

  • A key moment in the critical reevaluation of Andrea Sabatini (Andrea da Salerno, c. 1490-1530/31) occurred with the writings of Padre Sebastiano Resta (1653-1714). The Milanese Oratorian was the first to attempt a succinct reconstruction of Andrea's career based on first-hand knowledge of certain paintings, of which only the Gaeta altarpiece appears to have survived.

    The article casts new light on some of the paintings mentioned by Resta through a re-examination of both known and unpublished works, accompanied by brief reflections on other Southern Italian artists of the sixteenth century. Finally, two other works which have migrated over time -a "Virgin and Child" and a "Lamentation over the Dead Christ" in an unknown location- are published and here attributed to Andrea's early period.
